Editing Post-Apocalyptic (section)

=== Global Warming (and environmental devastation in general) ===
Human industries continue to pump Carbon Dioxide into the air resulting in a Greenhouse Effect. Temperatures rise considerably and sea levels rise. Low lying regions are flooded, weather patterns are changed. Millions are displaced and what was prime farmland dries out and dry areas are washed away. Violent Storms become more frequent. Civil and political unrest mounts while governments are strained. Wars break out as groups fight for what they can get their hands on. Those that survive find a ravaged world deeply changed by the byproducts Mankind's activity and avarice.

First of all, worries about Climate Change are plentiful today just as Nuclear War was in the 1950s. Moreover this is something which is harder to deal with. Nobody sane wants a nuclear war, but the solution boils down to simply not starting one and negotiating things out with other people who despite their differneces with you also don't want to die. When it comes to Co2 Emissions, we're doing it constantly and it's hard to stop this because it is a big systemic thing with a lot of powerful people and organizations in place which profit from it. 

Bear in mind, some forms of climate change, including devastating kinds, have nothing to do with human intervention; the mini-Ice Age caused by a big rock smacking into Earth can be thought of as the Dinosaurs' own apocalypse. Particularly nasty supervolcanic eruptions have been known to cause ecological devastation well beyond the original point of eruption, such as the Volcanic Winter of 536 that devastated crops and possibly lead to the outbreak of the Plague of Justinian as a result of malnutrition. The eruption of Krakatoa, the second deadliest in recorded history, created worldwide acid rain in addition to global cooling.

* Mandalore in Star Wars. They live in those weird cities for a reason, and not just because they look baller.
